Come and join Viv and Kate for a relaxed and friendly creative session where you’ll have the chance to try your hand at painting pebbles to create a collaborative garden artwork. This is a gentle, three-hour afternoon designed to help you slow down, switch off from everyday stresses and fully immerse yourself in the joy of making.

You’ll enjoy a calm, supportive atmosphere focused on social connection, mindfulness and creativity, where there’s no pressure to be perfect … just plenty of encouragement, laughter and time to explore something new. Whether you’re completely new to crafting or simply fancy trying a different technique, this session is all about learning, experimenting and having fun together.

By the end of the afternoon, you’ll have a sense of calm, achievement and connection with others. Everyone is welcome, just bring yourself and your enthusiasm to create. 💜✨

What will we be making?
During this special session, we’ll be painting pebbles to create a unique piece of outdoor artwork for our front garden. You can decorate a single pebble or work together with others to create a group of pebbles that form something larger. The natural shapes of the stones might inspire birds, flowers, patterns or playful characters — just let the pebble guide your imagination! All materials will be provided, and every painted pebble will become part of a colourful, community-made installation that everyone can enjoy.

A huge thank you to the National Lottery Community Fund and all the players of the Lottery, and to our amazing volunteers, who make all of this possible. Together, we’re creating a safe, caring and creative space for everyone.
